[New-bugs-announce] [issue2471] imp.get_magic() should return bytes, not bytearray

[Brett Cannon]

New submission from Brett Cannon <brett at python.org>:

The magic cookie as returned by imp.get_magic() should be of the bytes 
type, not bytearray as the magic cookie will not ever change during the 
execution of the interpreter.
